ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I have lived and worked in Los Angeles for 25 years, and I recently moved back home to Stockholm. During my time in Los Angeles I did some amazing projects, including three movies directed by Mike Figgis. I have worked with Alan Rickman, Wesley Snipes, and Robert Downey Jr, among others. I have played a ghost in the videogame Skyrim, been a part of world premiere plays, done everything from comedy to drama, from a daytime soap to Shakespeare and even an iPhone commercial. I graduated from the actors program at The Lee Strasburg institute and subsequently studied many years with Ivana Chubbuck and several other teachers. Since being back in Sweden I have been doing short films, a feature, some commercials and voiceover. I am a Swedish and an American citizen and i speak English with an American accent.
